On April 3, the Owenton Rotary Club received a letter from Hilton Head Island for its donation to the Deep Well Project for the storm survivors. Our speaker, Mike Cobb of Owen Electric, spoke on the cooperative solar project. This will be 60 acres of solar cell creating a solar farm that will help with providing electric to its members.

The Owenton City Council was expected to meet to vote on the future of the Ford property on SouthMain Street.
The city’s planning and zoning commission met and approved the zone change from R-1 (residential) to C-1 (commercial).
The formal request for the change was made by the property’s owner Peggy Ford during an April 31 meeting of the planning an zoning commission.
The city council has the final say on the zone change.

Dozens of friends, family, and members of the community lined the track at Itron Field to cheer on the survivors during their first lap at Friday’s Relay for Life.
As the sun rose 12 hours later, a little over $46,000 had been raised and donations continue to pour into his week.

Failure to respond appropriately could endanger health and environment
A spill is an accidental release of any amount of pesticide, small or large. Spills on public highways, such as when a tank on a truck overturns, usually have major consequences. Failure to respond quickly and appropriately to such mishaps could seriously endanger public health and environmental quality. Always put on the appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) before responding to a spill.
